Determination of Polar Heterocyclic Aromatic Amines in Meat Thermally Treated in a Roasting Bag with Dried Fruits.

ABSTRACT: Frequent consumption of processed meat has been classified as carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (Group 1), while red meat has been classified as probably carcinogenic (Group 2A). Mutagenic and carcinogenic compounds formed by heating in protein-rich food include, among others, heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs). Modifying the heat treatment of meat and using natural additives with antioxidant properties can lead to a reduction in their formation. The aim of this study was to determine polar HAAs (imidazoquinolines, IQ and MeIQ; imidazoquinoxalines, 8-MeIQx and 4,8-DiMeIQx; and phenylimidazopyridine, PhIP) in pork loin prepared without additives and with three types of dried fruit (apricots, cranberries, and prunes), baked in a roasting bag. HAAs wer
